ok found out the problem i took out plugs to check for spark, and i saw the plugs were soaked in gas. so i dried up plugs then disconnected fuel pump. then i put the plugs back in and sprayed stater fluid in car and i started up. so theres to much fuel going into the car! i have a fuel regulator, i will turn down fuel with that! has any1 ever heard of this???

starter fluid? WTF? i never heard of it. and your FPR, what mods do you have? that is probably your problem with the engine flooding, as well as trying to crank it continuously.

starter fluid is an old trick, kind of like spraying carb cleaner, an engine can start with it but it burns it out fast.

Ok well I got the car started but its idling real rough and I give it gas and there's no power, the motor seems like its gotta work hard when u give it gas. Looks like all the ground wires are ok.

Well I know its a fuel problem cuz when I sparyed starter fluid in it and disconnected the fuel pump it ran fine for a few seconds! Then I put every thing back together it acts up now! I have a bdl fuel rail a b and m fpr, iam running dsm injectors, and I just installed a autometer electrical fuel pressure regulator, what is the problem.......thanx for your input

Had the same type of problems this week and my car was not getting compression. Why? because it was flooded so much or so long that it needed spark plugs removed, cleaned and dried. Oh, then the trick!!! while the spark plugs are out, take an oil can with a long enough hose to get into the cylinder and squeeze a little oil into each cylinder. This will allow the car to get compression again. You see the gas in the cylinder walls is causing to slick a surface and it doesn't have enough compression to start. Worked like a champ on my car. Hope this helps!!!
